EXPONENTIAL techNOLOGY Practice

Technology innovation comes in waves that disrupt prevailing trends. The rise of the internet, social media and mobility were all defining waves of the first two decade of the 21st century. Exponential Technology is arising as the latest, most transformative wave of technology innovation. Fueled by exponential improvement in core digital technologies, Exponential Technology encompasses technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Blockchain, amongst others; and is currently disrupting or promising to disrupt virtually all manufacturing and service industries.

Exponential Technology has been driven by constant improvement in cost-performance of three core digital technology building blocks—computing power, storage and bandwidth. The disruptive potential of exponential technologies is accelerated when they interact and combine in innovative ways. The impact is further amplified when technologies merge into open platforms and ecosystems, which in turn is leading to the creation of a huge number of new products, services, businesses and new technologies.
